William Straus and Neil Howe's clustering of millennials based on birth years, the generational classification was referred to as Generation Y, and muddled the fair representation of those who experienced their adolescence and cognitive-development years in step with the nascent phase of home-based Internet access technology.
While often lumped together with millennials (as defined by Straus and Howe), the developmental phase of social interaction, which involved information technology's burgeoning impact on society, was overlooked. Generation Y represented the crossroads between millennials who were well immersed in computer technology even as far as experiencing an institutionalization of computer education in academic curricula and Generation X members who were heavily immersed in broadcast media's influence and yet largely uninitiated in computer technology. Generation Y represents the link between the non-digital age society shaped by Generation X, as adolescents (MTV Generation), and the dawn of the Internet age that saw the transitioning of society to easily accessible online communities (Bulletin board system, MIRC, Yahoo! Groups, Internet forum) especially during the introduction of dial-up Internet access to households.
Gen Y entangled pop culture and digital community-building through bulletin board systems, online forums, website mailing groups, mIRC, ICQ, and other electronic modes of communication (predecessors to social media) into today's digital age.

The millennial Generation represents Generation Z and were merely lumped with Generation Y people who were completely raised during the early emergence of home-based Internet access.

It's the parent generation which results in "extreme vegetarians" and all sorts of extreme "animal rights" which look at animals as humans.
Eg:
Misc poeple who fail to see the risk of dangerious animals, cause they look at them as a giant teddybear resulting in death could be considered a result from the Bambi generation.
As is someone who is putting his/her castrated pet on a vegetarian diet unnatural for the animal calling up to stop animal abuse / more animal rights.
